Marina Martínez-Bartolomé, Ph.D

I am broadly interested in understanding the developmental and evolutionary processes underlying body axis specification and patterning in bilaterian and cnidarian embryos. My research interests are developmental evolution, regeneration, gene regulation and cell type evolution. In particular, my Ph.D. research at Range lab at Auburn University focused on the molecular mechanisms and gene regulatory networks during anterior-posterior patterning of the sea urchin embryo.
